Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions

Seeing Jingwei agreed, Yingtian showed a bright smile on his face. After all, who can refuse a beautiful and powerful person?

When Gai Nie was about to speak, Zhao Gao suddenly came over in a hurry. Judging from his appearance, he must have something important to report.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

When he said this, Zhao Gao raised his head and looked at Gai Nie, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing his expression, Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"Mr. Gai Nie is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, just speak to him in person!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Ninth Young Master~the Ninth Young Master~encountered bandits on the way to the border and died under their swords!"

Zhao Gao pretended to be sad and spoke to him intermittently.

When Ying Zheng heard the news, his body trembled, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

However, in order to prevent others from seeing what he was thinking at the moment, Ying Zheng suppressed his sadness and said calmly: "Where did this news come from? Is it true?"

"Your Majesty! This was discovered by a group of our soldiers when they returned from training. There is also a jade pendant here that proves the Ninth Young Master's identity."

As Zhao Gao spoke, he handed the dragon-shaped jade pendant to Ying Zheng with both hands.

Ying Zheng was about to raise his hand, but stopped immediately. Then he glanced calmly at the jade pendant in Zhao Gao's hand, but did not reach out to pick it up.

"Okay! Since the Ninth Prince has died at the hands of the bandits, where is his body?"

"Your Majesty! When the soldiers went there, they only found some pieces of clothing, some bloodstains on the ground, and this jade pendant."

"It is estimated that the body of the Ninth Prince has been taken away and eaten by wild dogs."

Zhao Gao glanced at Ying Zheng and spoke cautiously.

When Ying Zheng heard his words, veins popped up on his head.

"Okay! I got it! If there are bandits roaming outside the city, then send troops to wipe them out, so as not to harm the people passing by!"

"As for the Ninth Prince, collect the pieces of his clothes and bury him and this jade pendant properly! But since he has been demoted to a commoner, his funeral should be held as a commoner's!"

"Yes! I will do it!"

After Zhao Gao respectfully bowed to Ying Zheng, he left.

[I guessed right! Ying Zheng's punishment of Ying Tian was just a show. When the time comes, he will take Ying Tian back.]

[But now no one knows whether Ying Tian is dead or alive!]

Thinking of Ying Zheng's emotional fluctuation just now, Zhao Gao sneered, and then asked someone to hand over the men he had just killed as bandits.

"Zhang Han!"

"I'm here!"

Shortly after Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng glanced at the corner next to him with a gloomy expression.

When Zhang Han heard Ying Zheng's call, he came out immediately.

"You must take the people from the Black Ice Platform and go look for the whereabouts of the Ninth Young Master right now! If he's alive, I want him to be seen in person; if he's dead, I want him to be seen as a ghost! I don't believe that a dog can eat a person's body so cleanly that not even a bone is left!"

Ying Zheng spoke word by word in cold voice.

"Here!"

After receiving Ying Zheng's order, Zhang Han replied with a sentence and then immediately disappeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty! Do you not believe that the Ninth Young Master was killed by bandits?"

Gai Nie, who was standing by, said something in confusion after hearing the order issued by Ying Zheng.

"Sir, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

"Tian'er was demoted to a commoner by me, and then he was killed by bandits on his way to the border. Is there really such a coincidence in this world?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and spoke in a calm tone.

"Indeed! This matter is too strange, it seems like it was carefully planned."

Gai Nie nodded and then echoed.

"Okay! Now that we are standing so high up, the wind is a bit strong. Sir, let's go down first!"

Ying Zheng waved his sleeves, then turned around and slowly walked down the stairs. His tall figure looked a little hunched at this time.

Although Ying Zheng looks very calm now, people who know him know that this is just the calm before the storm.

The news that Ying Tian was killed by bandits during his exile spread throughout Xianyang like wildfire.

Countless forces knew that Ying Zheng was furious at the moment, so they all hid themselves and did not dare to make too much noise, for fear of being used as a tool to vent his anger.

As for the other people, after hearing the news, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, lamenting that God was jealous of talented people.

Those young masters were so happy that they almost jumped up, because with Ying Tian here, their chances of sitting on that seat were extremely slim.

Now the monster that was pressing them to the point of suffocation has finally died, which is a huge blessing for them.

If they hadn't been concerned about Ying Zheng, they would probably have held a grand banquet.

But the power of time is always strong. It will always erase everything quietly without us noticing.

With the passage of time, the people of Xianyang gradually forgot about Prince Ying Tian, ​​and their lives returned to normal.

As for Zhang Han, who was sent by Ying Zheng to find Ying Tian, ​​he still could not find Ying Tian's whereabouts through various connections, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

In the end, although Ying Zheng remained skeptical about the claim that Ying Tian was killed by bandits, he was now preparing to take action against the six countries and did not have too much energy to devote to this matter, so he had to put it on hold for the time being.

……

A few years later, in front of an ancient capital, a young man wearing black armor and riding a Ferghana horse stood in front of him, with a gleam of sharpness in his eyes from time to time.

This young man was Ying Tian, ​​who was exiled to the frontier by Ying Zheng.

With the help of the system, Ying Tian built a powerful army. Relying on this army, Ying Tian swept across the Western Regions. Now only Wusun was left, and he had conquered the entire Western Regions.

The ancient capital in front of us is Chigu City, the capital of Wusun, one of the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions.

Although Wusun was ranked among the strongest among the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions, it was now under siege and faced the situation of its capital being about to be captured.

"Kong Ming! How many defenders are there in Chigu City now?"

Ying Tian turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man next to him who was holding a feather fan and dressed like a scholar.

"To answer your question, sir! There should be 3 defenders in the city now, of which more than 2 are the imperial guards of Chigu City! They are the elite among the elite of Wusun. The other 1 are the deserters who escaped when we attacked Wusun and are now being rounded up."

"According to my estimation, there should be two celestial grandmasters and several profound finger masters in Wusun."

"And I also heard on the way here that the King of Wusun is planning to burn his boats and shout out the slogan 'The country survives as long as the people are there, otherwise the country will perish as long as the people are there.'"

Zhuge Liang gently waved the feather fan in his hand and said with a faint smile on his face.

"Hahaha! What a resounding slogan! I wonder how long this slogan of his can last in my army?"

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Ying Tian couldn't help laughing.

"Where is Li Cunxiao?"

"The end is here!"

Ying Tian suddenly shouted loudly, and a burly general walked out.

"I order you to capture this city within one day!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Li Cunxiao replied murderously.

Ying Tian naturally understood that the city before him would definitely not be able to withstand Li Cunxiao's attack. After all, the saying "No king is better than Xiang, and no general is better than Li" is still full of value.

After receiving Ying Tian's order, Li Cunxiao turned his horse around and returned to the Flying Tiger Army under his command.

"The master has given us an order! We are to break into this city. Soldiers, follow me and break into the city!"

After saying this, he pointed the Yuwangshuo sword in his hand towards the Chigu City in front of him.
